Thread: Improve Your Training Logs

Whats wrong with some of the styles used here? I don't really see much of a difference.

You can save some time by just entering the data, and copy/pasting. This forum has the WYSIWYG editor, so that's good - but it can take a bit of extra time to fiddle and get it all formatted nicely.

This is a just a beta. I wanted to get some feedback to see how it could be made more useful. One idea is to have it track week to week progress (i.e. progressions on reps/weight lifted for reach exercise.

There are lots of things that could be done. What remains to be seen is whether or not people will make use of it. I know I'm the only one in my gym that brings a clipboard and tracks everything.

I think posting journals this way is way too much work/effort, no thanks.
